RIOT AT OPORTO. 01,0;11To, Arum 26.—WeTo, had a very unpl easan t dis turbance 'Jere yesterday, which is believed to have been long si ace teitc;eted, not alone having for its °lied the destruiltion of a few packages of furniture, hat of foreign le anufactitred goods generally. A body of riotous fellows, headed hy a cabinet-maker, presented themselves bekht the Civr , l Govern or , an d d eman d e d th at t h e f urt h er impor tation, of foreign furniture should be prevented. The Go vertu, r endeavoured to tranquillize them with fair words, but expv..essed his inability to meet their wishes without instrue thras from the Government. Upon this the deputation told the Governor they would interfere themselves, and the mob, to the number of 200 to apo men, then departed, and 'proceeded towards the river side, where, being strengthened by the ragamuffins they Picked up on the way, after giving sundry cheers, they mmenced their work of destruction by breaking up va s packages containing pianofortes, and other foreign articles, in the course of removal from the river side to the Custom=house warehouses. They next destroyed the contents of a lighter, laden w;.;:n part of the cargo of a vessel from Hamburgh, I .,reaking the packages to pieces, and throwing the fragments of them and the goods into the riv`,:r. Hence they proceeded to the convent of San Dor.ingo, where Mr. Kebe, the Danish Consul, who had hren the importer of great part of the obnoxi ous f urn i ture, had a large amount of property depo sited. Here tt. l ey broke open the doors, which had been Previously cleied, and renewed their work by breaking to pieces every package they could get at, in which employ ment they were diligently engaged, when our military Go vernor, Vac Baron da Foote Nova, made his appearance 4 flieni,Tt them. They at first showed an inclination to attae s him, but the General being an old soldier, appearing imir , ediately to join their ranks, took off his hat, gave three Cheers for the Queen, and then made a short speech, in 'which he promised that their grievances should be re dressed, that Indian corn should not cost more than 480 reis an alquier, and that many other benefits should be showered upon them, if they would only show themselves good citizens and friends of his, and go quietly away to their homes. By these means the mob were coaxed out of the warehouses, which were then partiality secured. A great number of persons afterwards corigregated in front of the Custom-house, the doors of . .vh',ich they attempted to force, but on the re-appearance of 1 3 .12 authorities were again induced to desist from further m;„i l i e f. Towards the evening the mob paraded the streets, and exacted money from a Fr.enctiman who has recently esta blished a shop for fa-dcy articles, contenting them se l ves b y breaking the windrArs of other dealers in foreign commo dities, who we- . , nat i ves. T o d ay all i s comparatively quiet, but str.„ll parties, sufficiently strong to overcome re sistance, h . .rt been round to all the dealers in grain, and have heaped themselves to Indian corn at 480 reis per al 'lute'', although the market price the day before yesterday reis. The consequence will be that in 48 hours the small quantity in the dealers' hands will be hidden or exl:rausted, and as the farmers will not, under present cir cumstances, send any more to market, we shall, in all pro liability, be reduced to the necessity of living upon rice, of Which, fortunately, we have a fair supply. The authori ties have no physical force at their disposal, but some troops are expected hourly to strengthen the civil power. The real causes of the disturbances are the high price of - bread, and the incapacity and turpitude of the late Mi nistry, which has freely admitted foreign manufactured goods, but utterly prohibited foreign grain, although Indian torn has risen more than 100 per cent. since the period of harvest.' A decree allowing the importation of 400,000 alquiers of Indian corn only has, however, just been made public, but this cannot be brought into the market to supply our immediate wants. It is true that since harvest large quantities of gra i n h ave b een smugg l ed i n from pain, otherwise we should be now in a state of starvation ; ut compensation to the smuggler, and grease for the fingers of the corrupt authorities, render this an expensive mode of supply. Otir market is glutted with British-manufactured goods of every description, and public sales occur almost daily, at which property is disposed of at immense sacrifices. Many goods are being returned to England, and others are re shipping to the 13razils and New York. APRIL 2g.—On the 27th the city was filled with country people, many of whom joined the mob in their visits to the various dealers in grain, whom they compelled to sell the Indian corn bn hand at 480 reis per alquier, and through out the day no further violence appears to have be commit ted. In the mean time the civil governor convened a meeting of the municipality, the principal authorities, and the members of the Commercial Association, to take the exigencies of the moment into consideration---the result was the determination to admit foreig n wheat to imm e di a t e consumption ; the Municipal Chamer, as ,well as some Wealthy individuals, making themselves responsible to the Government for any duty that may be charged upon the articel. There are two or three cargoes of foreign wheat in the port, which it is believed will be purchased by the Inunicipality at 650 reis per alquier (50s. 4d. per quarter), to be retailed to the bakers at the same rate. The inhabitants have rallied round the authorities, and any further attempts at disturbance will be instantly repelled by force, and I have no doubt successfully put down.— C orrespondence of a Contemporary. A.D VERTISEMENT.] —THE PUBLISHIN G BUSl l'Ess.—We are authorised and requested to state, that there is In) truth whatever in the report that Mr. Colburn has retired *sn•, business, or intends to do so. The report in question appears to have originated in the circumstance of Mr. Col burn's having relinquished his business in New Burlington street to Mr. Bentley, on the expiration of the previous part nership between them, and of his having devoted himself Solely, since that period (when he removed to Great Marlbo rough-street), to the reprinting and publishing of his Stock Works, and the conduct of his various Periodicals. His ar rangement with Mr. Bentley, however, far from being to the ffect of a total retirement from business, only precluded him from publishing New Works in London, Edinburgh, or within twenty miles thereof ; b ut out o f t h ese li m i ts the right of pub such New Works remains to Mr. Colburn as fully and freely' 43 before. I n con f orm i ty w i t h th i s r i ght, Mr. Colburn z* now, we understand, on the point of opening a new and ex tensive Publishing Establishment at Windsor, a spot which affords peculiar advantages, and where he will be attended, we doubt not, by the good wishes of all who know how to va lue the effects of enterprise and liberality in the business of Literature. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—The Carlisle Journal 44 5's :—" We stated in our paper of the 23d ult., that a man of the name of John Newbold had had his hand severely :ace tate(' by a tiger in Mr. Wombwell's menagerie on the preceding ,Wedn es d ay even i ng. The thumb and finger were amput a t e d, but there was no possibility of subduing the inflammation, Which rapidly spread up his arm, and after great suffering, he di ed en Wednesday morning last, about two o'clock. His arm T° T 4 °( l race were frightf u lly swo ll en. An inquest was held on e body on Th urs d ay, before W. Carrick, Esq., Coroner. facts, as stated by us at the time, were detailed to the - 1° . 7. 3'. It appeared that he had persisted in using familiarities with the animals, notwithstanding the repeated warnings of the keepers. The jury returned a verdi .t of Accidental death,' with a deodand of Is. upon the tiger. The deceased was 54 Years of ago, and had been 34 years in the army." CORONER'S INQUEST. —Yesterday afternoon an nattiest was held at the Barley-mow, Mount -street, Grosvenor °Kluare, on the boa/ of a young woman named Caroline Free btan, aged sixteen, stho was found drowned in the Serpentine t,i,yer on Wednesday night last. Prom the evidence of Charles .i riffitlis, the superintendent of the Humane Society, it ap ',eared. about half-past nine o'clock the deceased had jumped Z i t tile bridge in Kensington -gardens into the Serpentine ; he '°-s upon the spot in less than three minutes. Deceased ap tared quite dead %shell he took hcr from the water ; she was :_ t "'eyed to the Humane Society's receiving -house, and every 'ana used to rea r tore animation, h u t w i t h out e ff ect . I t ap se°red that sh e h a d b een di sc h arged from her situation for t 0: Ting out all night without leave. The jury, after consult ts short time, returned a verdict " Found drowned." SII IpWRECKS.—One of the most lamentable cases t; sh iparreck, which h as occurre d f or a l ong time past, u n f or . itoately took pl ace on M on d ay, b y which Captain Harri son , . I; , t ee sons, and lad, all met a watery grave. The schooner a n reci r d 'Fick and Betsy was laden with corn and rags for London, ,as When off Brancaster, experienced a severe gale, which t7Psited the vessel, and all on board perishad. Captain Har t-08°,4,4a a considerable sum of money, in notes and gold, on s s ;:.." with him, all of which, it is feared, is lost. The wreck ' t i, aa shore about four miles cast of Wells, and, to the I si ," sl.l uu of the people of that neighbourhood be it said, it has letters plundered of every thing that the waves had spared ; Split were wantonly destroyed, places that were locked . up isli,:*Pen with hatchets, and other outrages committed which ea" have been looked for from the brutish inhabitants of the g i lst of Ba r b ary , b ut w hi c h are a national disgrace to civilized ts la4 °l. We lament to add that Captain Harrison has left a 11, th " . and five children to lament his loss. On the same day, Ca ptai n four and five o'clock, A. M., the Thomas and Ann, ll t glo Buckley, drove on shore between Brancastor and by t t'am, and is a total wreck ; one hand, a boy, was killed v ° boat washing off the chocks on him. In this case, also, att, n e ssel has been plundered by the lawless wretches, who th e to subsist by robbing the unfortunate. At the time of or twreck, the Thomas and Ann had on board a valuable cargo tar titt °es. The Joseph and Ann, of Boston, lost anchor sieetcplains in the Deeps.

I remain, Sit, your respectfully, CHARLES BUCKE, IRELAND ► FAMINE.—Front Ott West the following extracts are made front tators addressed to the Dublin Evening Post : " Ruslic'en, April 28. " Our prospects are of a most fearful character. Such is the severity of the weather, that the cattle are dying all around, and those which still survive can only be kept so by giving them potatoes. This will ultimately leave the poor people in a frightful state of starvation. Unless some thing be done expeditiously for their relief, I shudder for the consequences." Tulloghbeghy, May 1. " The people in this neighbourhood are worse off than at Rusheen. Cattle are dying in all directions, from Beylagh to Clonsbanelly. The poor people are casting off the skins to Letterkenny. We have had no spring, and there is not a blade of grass to be seen, scarcely a primrose except in some sheltered nook. The fodder was all expended a month ago, and the poor must share their little stock of potatoes with the cattle, for they are not worth killing, being only skin and bone. It is generally believed that there is not more than a month's provision in the country, and we cannot expect to touch the new crop this year until the Ist of September at the earliest. The prospect is dreadful." In the North-east, too, the distress of the starving pea santry is dreadful. It sickens the heart to think of it. The Dublin Evening Post thinks it probable that an immediate, perhaps an official appeal may be made to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and that the matter will be brought be fore Parliament. DISLODGMENT OF THE CARLOW TENANTRY.—The de ' populating policy is now in active operation, no less than ' 228 persons have been ejected from one property recently. The exertions of the Roman Catholic clergy are repre sented as being most praiseworthy, in trying to preserve the peace under such trying circumstances. TITHE AUCTIONS.—At the late advertised sales of goods for tithes, the people assembled in great and imposing masses. On Wednesday last, about eleven o'clock in the morning, the Sub-Sheriff, unattended by either military, or police, proceeded to the farm of Mr. Kelly, of Crefogue, to sell his goods and chattels, under an execution for tithes, at the suit of Colonel Rochfort. Thousands of the country people were present, and conducted themselves with be coming forbearance and decorum. After several fruitless efforts to obtain bidders, the sale was adjourned—when the Sheriff proceeded to the lands of that upright citizen and genuine philanthropist, Mr. Sparrow, of Salville, who was sued for the payment of the unhallowed exac tion by Mr. Charles Hill. The assemblage at this sale was even greater than that at Crefogue, and the same orderly and upright conduct characterized the pro ceedings of the people. When the cattle were brought under the hammer, opposite Mr. Sparrow's hall door, a death-like silence pervaded the vast assemblage, amongst which we'observed a large sprinkling of the independent patriots of Enniscorthy. The bailiff acted as auctioneer ; at first a fine fat cow was put up at 5/., when the sale took a retrograde movement, the bailiff acting in the double ca pacity of vender and bidder—thus 5/., 3/., 1/.,105., 55., ls., one penny, still no purchaser ; when the sale was adjourned amidst the hearty laughter and cheers of the people. The following day, Mr. Lett, of Kilgibbon, was selected as the victim of the Law Church, where the crowd was even much greater than on the preceding day—but no sale took place. Nothing could surpass the determination, the cool, the steady resolution of the people to consign this curse of their country, this disgrace of the age, and horror of every honest man, to the tomb of th e Capulets. We understand that it is the determination of the people to bear these excellent men harmless of all law costs.— Wexford Independent. Similar scenes are exhibited in the county of Carlow, and also in the North. " Some time since," says the Newry Exa miner,." a poor man named Ward, who occupies about two acres of land on the estate of the Marquis of Bath, was asked by Mr. Evatt, J. P., Agent, &c., to pay eight shill lings and ninepence for Tithe. Ward refused, declaring that he had received no value for the money claimed, and that the demand was unjust and oppressive. The case was brought into a Superior Court • Ward was torn from hi s wife, and a family of e i g ht children was deprived of his support and protection ; and the. cost , .for the recovery of the sum of eight shillings and ninepence amounted—to how much, think you ?—to Twenty One Pounds !" THE LADIES AND MR. O'CONNELL.—The Mail is in the raptures of a political extacy. Such a discovery has been made ! The identical passage reported by a C or k paper to have formed part of Mr. O'ConnelPs speech, at a public meeting held in the year 1824, has been discovered ! Yes, the ipsissima verba which the Hon. Member for Dublin uttered at a certain meeting of the Ladies' Auxi liary Society, have positively been dug out of the columns the Southern I?eparter, and brought to light. Murder will out ! Here is the damning evidence. "By the Parliamen tary Reports on Poor Laws, it appeared that nineteen women out of twenty were mothers a month after their marriages. The marriage baked meats did coldly furnish forth the christening tables. Mr. O'Connell then proceeded to comment on the other parts of Mr. Noel's speech." What a monster of iniquity—what an assassin of women's reputation ! to refer to a plain naked matter of fact, pub lished in a Return made by the Ho::ourable House of Corn inons. Thank God, however, the wretch is now in the hands of Mail justice, and the paragraph, which has so often served as a peg to hang the charge on, is now published to the world. MARQUIS OF WATERFORD.--We know a characteristic anecdote of this ill-conditioned lordling, which may add to his fame. Some time since he appeared in this city, seated in his carriage, with a blood hound his companion. The latter animal was actually chained to the biped, and thus they journeyed on in congenial fellowship—a blood-hound and a Beresford sitting coupled together !"—Kilkenny Jour, THE WEATHER.—A more extraordinary season than the present is not remembered. We are now advancing fast into May, and at the moment of writing the weather pre sents all the characteristics of a severe March. A dry piercing wind from the north-east has now blown for about ten days without' intermission, and in consequence vegetation is posi tively at a stand still. We know that in these parts a late spring is safer and altogether preferable to an early one for the purposes of the harvest, but there are peculiarities about the present singularly protracted spring that render it far from desirable. Its dint on vegetation is perfectly paralyzing, and such of our farmers as are obliged to go to market for their hay find its effect upon their pockets equally distressing. We believe the price of hay has not been known so high for many years, and unless the weather takes a more genial turn, it is likely to be much higher. Friday week the northern lights Were observed at Edinburgh and other places : we observed them here. Their visitation is considered remarkable at this time of the year. The phenomenon generally indicates the approach of co'd frosty weather, and singular it is that since its appearance we have had a second winter. The mountains have been tipped with 'snow, and ice a quarter of an inch thick has been common. On' Saturday afternoon we had a heavy hail-storm, accompanied by distant thunder. At Preston and other parts of the county some loud peals were heard about the same time. Altogether, the season is one of a most extra ordinary character.—Lancaster Gazette of Saturday. SINGULAR CAPTURE OF ATIJIEF.—On Saturday last as the Royal Exeter coach was on its road from Bristol to Cheltenham, it was passed by two men mounted on a horse, who were no sooner perceived by a female passenger, sitting at the back of the coach, than she pointed out one of the men as the individual by whom she had been recently robbed of three watches and other property. The coachman pulled up, when the fellows on horse, hearing the cry of " stop thief," went off at full speed. Fortunately, however, a gentleman happened happened to ride up at the moment, and as soon as the circum stance could be explained to him, he gave ehace. A capital run now ensued. The riders in advance had all the advantage of a good half-mile start ; but they rode double; and it is a well-established fact, that this additional weight has a tendency to impede the progress of one's nag. Still, howei'er, they maintained a severe struggle, and it was not until the whole party were " bloody with spurring, fiery red with speed," that the pursuer came up and effected a capture. From the state ment made by the woman it appeared that the robbery was committed in Oxford on Thursday week, and she determined to follow the thief, and had already made unsuccessful efforts to discover him in Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bath, and Bristol, when she alighted thus singularly and unexpectedly upon him as she was returning home.—Bristol Journal. F IRE AT WINDSOR.—About five o'clock on Thursday morning a fire brok out in the residence of Mr. For man, of Langby ; it was first discovered by some work-people seeing smoke proceeding from the bed-reom of Mrs. Forman. On their endeavouring to proceed up stairs, the flames became so strong, that they found it impossible to proceed to the un fortunate lady's room, and melancholy to relate, she has fallen a sacrifice. After many hours' exertion by a l arge num b er o f persons, with the aid of the Windsor town-police, by two o'clock, the remains of the unhappy lady were rescued from the ruins. The body presented a most horrible sight. A great portion of the furniture was saved, but the whole of the interior of the house is destroyed. It i s greatly feared that one of the Hastings mackarel boats with her crew, consisting of four men and a boy, which has been missing a week, is lost. A report has reached here through a Dover smack that during the gale a schooner passed a new fishing-boat, bottom upwards, having the word " Has tings" on her stern. The boat was the property of Mr. Wil liam Winter, shipbuilder,—Brighton Guardian, May 13. TnE suiV, LoNnoN, slotttS, ASSURAIIet ddMP AN ES, Std. Sm. Si 6. LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 13.

(From the ./Vew London Pried Carroll of Idsf highto SUGAR.-The market having lean sn i : . n r d ? iff w er rn e , n r tl: fi a w n o d li s r c a a h n le s tily supplied this week with West India Raw Sugars, toge ther with a change of the wind, vo for arrivals, have caused the demand to be extremely mocteraie, either from the refiners or grocers, the sale barely averaging 300 Mids. daily ; but owing to the gr e at d e fici enc y t h ere will be in the stock on Tuesday, when compsred with that of last year, fully to the extent 0(0,000 hhds., &c., holders have bee n firm in their demands, and have even succeeded in some in stances in obtaining 6d. advance on the prices of this day week. It is reported that several vessels have arrived off the coast with Sugars, which are much wanted, and may be daily expected. To-day the prices of West India Raw Sugars con tinue firm, but the demand was again limited, in consequence of the indifferent show ; not above 500 hhds., &c. were offer ing for sale, which, tog e th er w ith t h e expecte d supp li es , muc h checked the demand, not 100 hlids. having been sold to-day ; there is every prospect, however, that when there is a good supply at market that a great demand will exist for Sugars, being much wanted both by the town and country trade ; the estimated sales this week are 1,000 Mids. and trs. at steady prices. Refined goods for shipping continue exceedingly scarce, but there is less demand for them this week, and fine Crushed may now be purchased at 445. 6d. a 455., or 85s. 6d. a 86s. for Lumps to pass the, standard. The grocery descriptions fully support the late advance, and there con tinues to be a brisk and general demand. For small quanti ties of Dutch Crushed Sugar 435. has been paid, but the par cels now offering in the market are held for 435. 6d. The Market this afternoon for grocers and shipping goods is very dull and lower, fine crushed at 445. 6d., and lumps to pass the standard 85s. Dutch Crushed Sugar is offered at 435., being 6d. cheaper. EAST INDIA.-Bengal continues in brisk request, and prices since this day week have advanced 6d., but owing to the equalizing the duty still remaining unsettled, holders arc not free sellers, even at the above advance. At auction 1,100 bags mostly sold, good to fine white 395. a 40s. 6d., mid. and low white, 375, 6d. a 38s. 6d., damps 375. 6d., 385., and 395. 6d. There is still little doing in any other kind of East India Sugar, owing still to the scanty supply at Market. The private sales are parcels of Bengal, taken by exporters, good and fine white at 395. a 41s. ; 300 bags old Manillas at 325. a 335. Mauemes.-The prices of Mauritius have been firm this week, and there has been a considerable business done by private contract, mostly in second hand parcels. At public auction 3,419 bags went readily at last sale's rates, low brown at 535. a 595. ; middling and good brown 60s. a 625. 6d. ; low to good yellow 635. a 67s 6d. There is less doing in Mauritius Sugars this afternoon, but the prices keep firm ; 5,649 bags offered at public sales, chiefly a refining parcel ; a large portion was bought in ;_ the rest sold heavily at former rates, brown, 61s. ; mid. t o goo d grey, 635. a 665. 6d. FOREIGN.-All kinds of Foreign Sugars have been much inquired after, but owing to there being few now in the Mar ket, and those held for much higher prices than were accepted last week, less business has been done. At auction 390 boxes yellow Havannah offered, 220 of which were good, strong, and dry sound taken in at 425. a 435. 6d., being 2s. a 3s. above the previous rates of the Market, the remainder was damaged and went at 335. a 375. 6d. ; 60 packages Bahia also taken in at advanced rates, mid. and good white 375. a 375. 6d. ; for a parcel of mid white Havannah 535. has been offered and re fused. 140 chests of brown Bahia sold by private contract at 295. and 31s. 6d. ; small parcels of Havannah at 51s. a 535. for good white, and 395. a 40s. for•yellows ; new white Rios at 40s. At auction this afternoon, 20 packages Colombian Sugars, forming no criterion to Market prices, sold fine fine 3 allow to fine white 395. a 475. ; 10 chests 11 barrels Bahia taken in at high prices, ord. white 345. a 355., brown 295. MOLASSES.-West India continue in good request, and fully last week's rates have been obtained. Demerara of good old quality sold at 275., new 295. a 295. 6d. This afternoon several parcels of West India, received coastwise, sold at 28s. for Trinidad, and 30s. for Antiguas. TEA.-The prices are steady, but there is little demand, owing to the near approach of the sales. The sales of Tea for next week contain 42,000 packages, and they command the chief attention of the trade : the question about an extension of time for paying up the Is. 6d. duty is not yet settled, though it is expected that it will be granted. CQFFEE.-There has again been a considerable business done in the British Plantation Coffee Market, partly on spe culation, and the remainder for actual consumption, and the prices since this day week 2s. higher, particularly for the su perior descriptions ; the public sales have consisted of 340 casks and barrels, the most part Jamaica, the remainder De merara, all the former sold with much spirit ; Jamaica mid. at 925. 6d. and 945. 6d., fine fine ord., 90s. and 915., good to fine ord., 83s. 6d. and 875., ord. 775. and 80s. In addition to the public sales, large parcels have changed hands by pri vate contract at the above advance-not a single arrival this week. There is little variation in the prices of East India ; the Market still keeps dull, particularly for the sorts suitable for the grocers ; at auction 108 bales Mocha taken in, even clean garbled long berry at 765. 6d. and 795. 6d. ; 129 bags Batavia also at auction sold at 483. 6d. and 495. for clean yellowish broken quality, but have since been disposed of by private contract at 2s. advance on those prices; Ceylon is offering at 525. 6d. and 535., at which prices some small par cels were disposed of privately for good quality. There was a considerable business done in the Foreign Market this week, at extreme rates ; 5,000 bags,Brazil sold by private contract at 525. and 535. for dingy, even good ord. to coloury good ord. ; also a parcel of St. Domingo at 545., with some colour, but mixed ; at auction 495 bags of the latter, imported from New York, went at 51s. and 535. for mixed pale good ord. quality. The Fairy Queen and the Morley have arrived at the Cape of Good Hope, and one vessel at St. Helena, all from Ceylon, with Coffee, bound to London, subject to the low duty of 6d. There is a better demand for Mocha this day, 255 bales at auction went off briskly at an advance of Is., and sold at 625. and 635. 6d. for good ord. ungarbled, ord., 58s. 6d. and 60s. 6d. ; 15 casks Jamaica taken in at full prices, mid., 955. ; 1 186 bags Brazil, mostly damaged, sound , good ord., a little coloury, taken in at 525. and 535., held for the latter price, damaged went at 463. 6d. and 525. The trade being supplied for the present with Plantation Coffee, and large arrivals being expected daily, there was less demand by private contract this afternoon, but the late advance in prices are fully maintained. RUM, BRANDY. AND HoLLANns.-In Rum a considerable business would have again been done this week had there been a sufficient quantity at market, but owing to the scanty supply, the sales have necessarily been limited, and confined to about 100 puns. Jamaica, and 120 puns. Leewards, at fully previous rates, the former 30 per cent. over ; foul, 3s. 9d., and bright same strength 3s. 10d., and some parcels of fine sold for arrival 33 over at 45., 4s. 4d., and 4s. 6d.

" Since I saw you I have been in strange lands, and seen strange sights. I have traversed the Baltic and the wide dominions of the ambitious Autocrat—crossed the Euxine, and dipped into Asia and European Turkey— ' kept due onwards to the Propontic and the Hellespont' —wandered amid the faultless fragments of the bright clime of battle and of song'—sailed by the lonian Isles— visited the chief towns of the Germanic Confederation, and here I am at last, safe and sound, in the ever gay capital of France. I thank Heaven my travelling in the far East' is at an end. One is rather badly accommodated there in the way of railroads and steamers. However, take it all in all, I have every reason to be satisfied with the voyage, for there is no kind of information but must be purchased with some painstaking, and one day I shall fully eujoy all this in calm retrospection from the bosom of the unpruned forest.' Yes, the sight of the city of Mos cow alone would amply repay one for all risks and fatigues at sea. Never shall I forget my sensations when from the great tower of the Kremlin, one bright sunny day, I looked . _ down upon that beautiful city. The numberless domes beaming with'azure and with gold, the checkered roofs, the terraces, the garddn slopes, the mingling of all the styles and systems of architectural construction, now massive and heavy, now brilliant and light, and every where fresh and original, enchanted me !—and, I am free to confess, Russia astonished me. I have sailed dow❑ the mighty Mississippi-I have been in the dark and silent b osom of our forest homes-1 have been under the eye of Mont l;h►nc and OlyMpus—l grew familiar with Rome and with'London, without experiencing the same degree of wonder which fastened upon me in Russia. I thought there to have encountered but hordes of semi-barbarians ; yet I found a people raised, as it were, at once from a state of nature to our level of civilisation. Nor have they awl rently, in their rapid onward course, neglected the lliCanS to render their progress sure and certain. And then, what an army, a million of men !—and all wearing the best forms of men ; the best disciplined, and better able to endure the laboured battle-sweat' by their constant activity, the rigour of their climate, and their ignorance of all pleasures which serve to effeminate. The navy, too, though in an imperfoct state compared with the army (in sailors not ships) will doubtless soon hold a distinguished rank. Only think of such a po.ver, increasing every day—stretching out wider and wider, and all confessing one duty—obedience to the will of the absolute Sovereign. Though lam un skilled in political lore,' yet as we ' Yankees' assume the right to 'guess' upon all subjects, I calculate' your Go vernment had better keep a watchful eye upon the ermined Scythian, or he'll bother your commerce in certain quarters, He hates both England and France, and his warlike attitude from Cronstadt to the Crimea, at least deserves attention from those who know how to appreciate peace and free dom. You will say this is all stuff; but you will think otherwise, when, in a short time, Nicholas shall have pos session of Constantinople and the Bosphorus." CII ENIICAL AFFINITY.—That cash should be al lied with money is in no way astonishing ; consequently there will be nothing extraordinary in the information subjoined. On Alonday last L. Cash, was brought before the Magis trates at the New Bailey, charged with stealing from a drawer the sum of 41., the property of his master. The robbery, it appears, was effected on Saturday last, and the prisoner im mediately set off with his booty fur this town ; but the money having been missed, a man named Hilton was sent in - pursuit, and he was found drinking in a beer-house. In reply to the charge, he declared that he was cruelly aspersed, tin- that he had only stolen 2/. 12s. 6d., whereas it was alleged that he had taken 41. He was committed for trial.—Manchester Chro nicle. There is now to be seen in the garden of Mr. Morris, glazier, in Woodstock, a single root of asparagus, which came up accidentally from seed, on which are 48 shoots, the least measuring one inch and a quarter in circumference, The shoots of last year, not cut, measured upwards of ten feet in height,—,Leamington Chronicle.

This was action for false imprisonment, brought against the defendant, a hatter in the Strand, by the plaintiff, who was box book-keeper at the Adelphi Theatre. The defen dant arrested the plaintiff upon a demand of 390/. 18s., arising out of bill transactions, on the 15th of August, 1835. An informality having been detected in the affida vit of the defendant, the plaintiff was discharged by order of Mr. Justice Littledale, on the 21st of August, 1835. As two of the bills were supposed by the defendant to be forgeries, he* had the plaintiff arrested by an officer of Bow street near the Haymarket, having previously been refused a warrant by Mr. Halls, the magistrate The plaintiff was taken to the station-house after the arrest, at the hour of 12 o'clock on Saturday night, and remained to two o'clock on Monday, the 23d of August, when he wtzs discharged. This arrest was the cause of the present action. The officer of Bow -street, to whom the plaintiff was given in charge on felony, proved the circumstances of the false imprisonment. The plaintiff was indicted at the Cen tral Criminal Court for forgery of the two bills in question in the October following, and acquitted. The defence set up was justification, upon the ground that the two bills in question, one for 1001., and the other for 401., were made for the object of defrauding the de fendant out of these sums. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 40s. INSOLVENT COURT.-FRIDAY. `IN TIIE MATTER OF THE PETITION OF RICHARD WAY. This insolvent, an elderly man, was opposed by Mr. COOKE, on behalf of Elizabeth Way, his daughter. Mr. WOODROFFE supported the insolvent, from whose examination it appeared that she had lent him 201. in 18211. She alleged it was 301., and not 201. The insolvent said that 101. was a bonus. Upon this debt she had arrested him, to which action he had given bail, and rendered in dis charge. It further appeared that the insolvent had sold all his property, and had paid some creditors. It was com plained that the disposition was unfair, the insolvent had paid one person 1251., and his housekeeper 20/. The COURT required proof of the payments, and ad journed the case sine die for that purpose. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (Continued from our First Edition of yesterday.) The prisoner, (Joseph liaggcrstone, indicted for the murder of his wife, at Merton) in his defence, said that he went home tipsy on tl:c night in question—he left his wife at the Double-gate to go to her stster, and never saw her after yard till she was dead. On leaving his wife, he went home, wishing several people good night as he went along, among whom was a constable of the name of Brockwell. Mr. Brochwell was called, and corroborated the statement of the prisoner. Mr. Justice PARK summed up at great length, and the Jury, after retiring for 20 minutes, acquitted the Prisoner.
